review 1: Another enjoyable tale from Friend on her farm. Really, I just adore her writing and imagining her life with sheep. As the granddaughter of sheep farmers who raise fiber animals for wool, it was great to see Friend develop a relationship with her flock that translated to the warm fiber goodness they grow. I highly recommend the first memoir of Friend's (Hit by a Farm is the title) too for more fun, witty banter about farming, sheep, and things you never thought you'd be doing with your life.
review 2: A funny memoir about being a farmer and a shepherdess. To be honest, I had hoped for more of an integrated book, talking more about the history of sheep, wool, and how it is used today and why small farms are needed. I needed to get to the second half of the bo... moreok to get what I was looking for, as the first was more anecdotal, if amusing. Not a bad read.I was pleased by the end of the book that the author had been decidedly sucked into the world of fiber freaks. Welcome, friend! less
